ZARP: The Zavolab Automated RNA-seq Pipeline

ZARP (Zavolab Automated RNA-seq Pipeline) is a generic RNA-Seq analysis workflow that allows users to process and analyze Illumina short-read sequencing libraries with minimum effort. Better yet: With our companion ZARP-cli command line interface, you can start ZARP runs with the simplest and most intuitive commands.

RNA-seq analysis doesn't get simpler than that!

ZARP relies on publicly available bioinformatics tools and currently handles single or paired-end stranded bulk RNA-seq data. The workflow is developed in Snakemake, a widely used workflow management system in the bioinformatics community.

ZARP will pre-process, align and quantify your single- or paired-end stranded bulk RNA-seq sequencing libraries with publicly available state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools. ZARP's browser-based rich reports and visualitations will give you meaningful initial insights in the quality and composition of your sequencing experiments - fast and simple. Whether you are an experimentalist struggling with large scale data analysis or an experienced bioinformatician, when there's RNA-seq data to analyze, just zarp 'em!
